This app would have saved my career a couple years ago. Now, when I visit the old office to say hi to my ex-colleagues, I still can't get past the nickname they gave me because of what happened.
- J0-nas 10y agoWhat did you expect?
- hellofunk 10y agoI expected my colleagues to respect the things I do in private and realize I'm just human. And at the very least, if they were going to publicly respond, I'd have expected them to compliment me instead.
- song 10y agoThis sucks, I can't imagine what goes through the mind of people making fun of someone for something like this that is clearly private. Hope you found a better job and colleagues after that.
- gkya 10y ago> things I do in private When you let it be recorded and the recording be possessed by someone else, it's practically public, as you can't control what'll happen in future and there will always be mean people that'll try to bully you for that sort of thing. I'm sad that it's caused you harm, but I guess in such situations showing confidence might work.
- emodendroket 10y agoWould you respond the same way to someone whose spouse emptied out their bank accounts and ran off?
- gkya 10y agoWell, first of all I did not mean to offend the person I responded to. Sorry if that came off that way. About your comment, well, frankly, if you're sharing sensitive things like bank accounts and intimate recordings, prudence is key. One has to make sure what they give access to. And I said that the suffering side in this kind of situations should be assertive about the fact that they are innocent. IDK what is wrong about that.
- matz1 10y agoHow is this different, there are always this risk when one share back account.
- emodendroket 10y agoThat it's not so different is my point.
- DannyBee 10y ago"I expected my colleagues to respect the things I do in private and realize I'm just human." So basically, you bet that people would overcome millions of years of human psychology? While I agree with you it would be nice if that happened (really nice!), i wouldn't expect that to happen for a long long time.
- emodendroket 10y agoHell, why even bother criminalizing murder or theft when murder and theft have happened in every culture in the history of time? It's only human nature, after all.
- matz1 10y agoExactly because human nature is hard to change, you have to effectively force it by criminalizing it and not everything can be criminalized.
- J0-nas 10y agoYou expect people to behave a certain way when you know they won't. Then you let them get to you because you don't stand to whatever you did. You expected them to compliment you. It means you are proud of what you did. But if you really are proud of what you did you wouldn't care about their opinion in the first place. So either you are somewhat ashamed of what you did and regret that it became public or wanted to brag with it but are now angry that you colleges made fun of you instead.
- juskrey 10y agoI believe environments auto-eject those people who do not belong there anyway, the reason does not matter.
- Thrillington 10y agoSo if you end up being ejected from a group it was justified because you didn't belong there. Nice logic.
- gkya 10y agoStating a fact is not necessarily an approval thereof.
- yomly 10y agoI don't think the intent in the above comment re. auto-eject was malicious. It's about equilibrium, phrased in more common-speak they're better off without them, as they're clearly gossipy/close-minded people.
- emodendroket 10y agoIf only that sort of righteousness paid the rent.
- juskrey 10y agoFor me it does. The only side effect is I can't enter any office without taking antinauseants.
- juskrey 10y agoBingo! I am surprised about masochism people engaging for (not that good) food.
- debatem1 10y agoYuck. I'm sorry you went through that.
- gregshap 10y agosorry. they sound like crappy people so you probably would have had some falling out eventually anyway
- overcast 10y agoGeez. It's only sex, I really don't understand why people make such a big deal about it, sex tape or not.
